This is exactly how I'd hoped this song would turn out. What a lovely cacophony of drums and percussion... and dude, your 'abuse of Latin rhythms' is totally why I wanted you to cover this song.

Thanks so much for indulging me. The right-side guitar that comes in around 1:20 is really great.

Also, a suggestion, add the cover tag and perhaps MWard?posted by ORthey at 11:31 AM on

Hey, I'm glad you liked it. I thought someone could object saying that it didn't sound sad, sad at all, and I would have responded with a link to Alicia Adorada or to La muerte de Eduardo Lora as examples of sad, sad songs that don't sound sad.

I added the tags. And thanks to you for the request, it was good fun doing this.posted by micayetoca at 11:52 AM on

Very fun. I heard this a few days ago, and it's been in my mind a lot. It's good to sing while doing the laundry :)posted by clearlydemon at 10:54 AM on

I have to echo ORthey's entire comment. The percussion is wonderful, and that 1:20 'guitar' (is that the cumbia? I like it) is the perfect balance to the rhythm.

I'm not a huge fan of panning vocals like this, but that's just a side note, really.posted by Corduroy at 11:24 AM on

Cumbia is actually the rhythm the percussion and the bass are playing, that style of guitar would be (I guess) more of a rockified reggae guitar. I'm glad you both liked it. Thanks for leaving comments.posted by micayetoca at 12:17 PM on
